This is probably just a dream, but is there any way to reduce the rate at which St. Julians rootstock produces suckers? It seems like I am pulling a thicket of them weekly. They are outpacing all other weeds.

I’ve no idea how to stop the suckering, and my following warning is not specifically for ‘you,’ but don’t spray them.

Last year I removed a once beautiful ‘flowing cherry’ tree for an older woman who’d complained that it was dying… She also described having sprayed it’s ‘root suckers’ for years. As the herbicide feeds back into the trees root system – it will eventually kill the tree. I’ve also seen this ‘happen’ to commercially care for trees
